Overview of this book

Ethereum and Blockchain will change the way software is built for business transactions. Most industries have been looking to leverage these new technologies to gain efficiencies and create new business models and opportunities. The Ethereum Cookbook covers various solutions such as setting up Ethereum, writing smart contracts, and creating tokens, among others. You’ll learn about the security vulnerabilities, along with other protocols of Ethereum. Once you have understood the basics, you’ll move on to exploring various design decisions and tips to make your application scalable and secure. In addition to this, you’ll work with various Ethereum packages such as Truffle, Web3, and Ganache. By the end of this book, you’ll have comprehensively grasped the Ethereum principles and ecosystem.

Understanding solidity assembly

Ethereum supports an assembly language that can be used to gain fine-grained control over the EVM. This allows access to the EVM at a low level. This discards several important safety features of solidity. Assembly language can be either written inside solidity source code (inline assembly) or can also work as a standalone code (standalone assembly).

In this recipe, you will learn to write assembly-level code for accessing the EVM at a low level.

Getting ready

You need to have a working Ethereum installation for deploying and testing the smart contract. You can also use the Remix IDE to write and test the Solidity code.

It is required to have good knowledge of Solidity before stepping through...
